ok well firstly Fe2+ will be formed no doubt about that....
half equation is
Fe--->Fe2+ + 2e-
well if the fe2+ is exposed to air...you will see that it will turn brown after some time...infact that is Fe3+...the Fe2+ has been oxidised to F3+...
hope this helps...if got any question just mail me...k???
